Why Creativity Is Important To Me

The importance of creativity is something I have understood from a really young age. My parents always challenged me to “think outside of the box”. This is what ignited my love of art and music. Art, for me, is my escape route. Whenever I am upset or get stressed, I turn to art. I love to draw cartoon characters and work on my modern calligraphy typography whenever I can. Music is another escape route for me. Ever since I was in first grade, I loved to play the piano. I was not very good at first, but after many years of hard work and dedication, I am actually quite astounding at it. I now have the opportunity to play the piano and organ during church services on Sunday. I am grateful that my parents made the commitment early in my life to help me to excel creatively with diligence and devotion. Having a musical ability has helped me in many ways. One of those is by giving me the desire to participate in marching band. In eighth grade I started band by playing the xylophone.

It has been a long-term goal for me. Just recently I have decided to pursue a degree in Graphic Design. Receiving this degree is another aspiration of mine. I also desire to make a change in this world, even if it is only a small change. I want to help others – show them that I love and care for them. I want to have every single person feel important, because they are! I want to continue serving in my community and to help other nearby communities. I desire to be more selfless, to put others before myself. I want to be happy. If selected for this scholarship, I will continue to apply the same diligence to my college studies as I have to this point, making education and service to others my top priority.
